  • Staying in your comfort zone can limit your growth due to habit and routine.
  • Comfort zones can prevent us from seeing and seizing new opportunities.
  • Age and routine can make us less likely to make necessary changes.
  • Consider your life trajectory for the next 5 to 10 years. If it's not where you want to be, consider change.
  • Human nature often fears loss more than it values potential gain.
  • Moving or making a big change can open up new possibilities and clientele.
  • Remote work is increasingly possible, reducing the need to be physically present.
  • Opportunities often come from predicting trends, not following them.
  • Intelligence is pattern recognition. Spot patterns and make predictions based on them.
  • You must be willing to let go of current opportunities to seize new ones.
  • Making a pros and cons list can be helpful, but beware of confirmation bias.
  • Risk is inherent in change, but so is reward.
